Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire twice on Sunday by firing mortar shells, rockets and automatic weapons on forward Indian posts along the LoC in Poonch district, drawing retaliation from the Indian side.
The fresh ceasefire violations come a day after Pakistan troops violated the border truce thrice.
‘Pakistani army opened indiscriminate and unprovoked firing on forward posts along LoC in Bhambir Gali sub-sector in Poonch sector around 7.15 am’, Defence spokesman Col R K Palta said.
Pakistani army fired from small and automatic weapons besides firing medium mortars on the forward posts and civilian areas, he said.
Indian troops guarding the borderline used similar calibre weapons and retaliated strongly triggering fierce exchanges, which were on when reports last came in.
In Mendhar sub-sector of Poonch district, Pakistani troops targeted Indian positions along LoC and opened unprovoked firing around 3am hours, Col Palta said, adding India troops retaliated effectively resulting in exchanges, which ceased around 6am.
